Young lady. Great wits sometimes may gloriously offend , And rise to faults true critics dare not mend , From vulgar bounds with brave disorder part , And snatch a grace beyond the reach of art ; While they who ne'er the paths of science ...

... praise can such an ardour rise , When those who bring that incense we despise ; For such the vanity of great and small , Contempt goes round , and all men laugh at all . It is with the beauty of the soul , as 34 INTELLECTUAL.

Страница 124 - See heaven its sparkling portals wide display, And break upon thee in a flood of day.
Страница 155 - Know Nature's children all divide her care ; The fur that warms a monarch warm'da bear. While man exclaims,
Страница 76 - At thirty man suspects himself a fool ; Knows it at forty, and reforms his plan ; At fifty chides his infamous delay, Pushes his prudent purpose to resolve; In all the magnanimity of thought Resolves and re-resolves; then dies the same.
Страница 134 - Tis from high life high characters are drawn : A saint in crape is twice a saint in lawn ; A judge is just, a chancellor juster still ; A gownman learn'd ; a bishop what you will ; Wise if a minister ; but if a king, More wise, more learn'd, more just, more every thing.
Страница 120 - Else whence this pleasing hope, this fond desire, This longing after immortality ? Or whence this secret dread and inward horror Of falling into...

Страница 99 - Painful preeminence ! yourself to view Above life's weakness, and its comforts too. Bring then these blessings to a strict account ; Make fair deductions ; see to what they 'mount...
Страница 31 - These are thy glorious works, Parent of good, Almighty, thine this universal frame, Thus wondrous fair; thyself how wondrous then ! Unspeakable, who sitt'st above these heavens, To us invisible, or dimly seen In these thy lowest works; yet these declare Thy goodness beyond thought, and power divine.
